Verse
Em D
Your children are not your children.
C D
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself,
C Em
They come through you, but not from you
D Em
And though they're with you, they belong to themselves.
[Verse 2]
Em D
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
C D
For they have thoughts of their own,
C Em
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
D Em
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams,
[Chorus 1]
C D Em Em (2x)
UUUUuuuuuuh
[Verse 3]
Em D
You may strive to be like them,
C D
but seek not to make them like you.
C Em
For life goes, not backward
D Em
nor tarries with yesterday.
[Verse 4]
Em D
You are the bows from which your children,
C D
as living arrows are sent forth,
C Em
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
D Em
and He bends you, with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
[Chorus 2]
C D Em Em (2x)
UUUUuuuuuh
C D Em
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
C D Em
as He loves the arrow that flies, He loves all that is is stable,
C D Em
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness,
C D Em
for even as he loves the arrow that flies, he loves also the bow that is stable
